Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Effused III ski pants are designed for adult female skiers who demand high-level performance and comfort in challenging alpine environments. Featuring an impressive 35,000mm waterproof and breathability rating, these pants excel at keeping the elements out while managing moisture during intense physical activity; however, users should note that the specialized construction requires careful attention to cleaning protocols to maintain the DWR coating and fabric integrity.

FAQs
Are these pants fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a 35,000mm water column rating and fully taped seams to provide excellent protection against snow and rain.
Can I remove the braces?
The braces are designed to be an integral part of the fit. Please check the attachment points on your specific pair to see if they are removable.
How should I wash them?
Use a specialized technical cleaner for waterproof garments, wash on a gentle cycle, and avoid fabric softeners.
What is the benefit of the articulated knees?
They are pre-shaped to follow the natural bend of your legs, preventing the fabric from bunching up and allowing unrestricted movement while skiing.
Do I need to wear a base layer underneath?
While the pants are insulated, wearing a technical base layer is recommended to manage moisture and provide added warmth in extremely cold conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the surface fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the garment and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Build-up of moisture inside the pants
Ensure you are using the correct layering system underneath; use moisture-wicking base layers and avoid cotton.
Difficulty with the brace adjustment
Check that the buckles are not clogged with ice or debris and ensure the straps are threaded correctly through the tensioning sliders.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your pants, adjust the brace straps until they rest comfortably on your shoulders without pulling, then use the waist adjustment tabs for a snug fit. These pants are designed to be worn over ski boots, but the tab-up hem system allows you to shorten them temporarily when walking in casual shoes. For care, always follow the garment label instructions. Use technical cleaning agents designed for waterproof, breathable fabrics rather than standard detergents, which can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Hang-dry the pants away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the taped seams and synthetic insulation.
